The sprawl paradigm unfortunately is a provincially legislated requirement and is (one of the reasons) why Council lost their position of trying to have less expansion. The only way municipalities can plan for a non-sprawl paradigm is if the market makes significant abrupt changes that alter housing demand. The municipality can then say housing demand is this and we should plan thusly. The "build it and they will come" mantra only works if "they" want it.
I think more accurately Council should be mindful of making significant last minute changes to a plan that has been endorsed through a committee after a lengthy public process.
